i like the effort here to try something a little different from the DPC standard fare - the grain is pretty good except for a few small areas in the sky that appear a little blotchy.
I think having the path not run directly off to the side would have helped 'the story' of this image - it appears almost too abrupt as it currently runs away so hard to the right
This scene has a lot of potential, but the first things that came to mind that may improve the image are:
(1) turn up the contrast - it seems rather flat with mainly midtone
(2) sharpen - it seems slightly out of focus, which some of the voters get very picky about here!
Hope this makes sense! :)
